| This is an ideal place for a family holiday or just somewhere to chill out The complex has its own swimming pool, children's play area and jogging track, 5-a-side football pitch and tennis courts are just being completed [Nov07] The beach is split by the Marina. The western beach 5 minutes walk from the apartment comprises the "commercial beach" (walk down to the sea and turn right either along the promenade or beach until you come to the Marina and town square) or turn left and walk eastwards - this part of the beach is part of the Natural Park and continues to Roquetus de la Mer the next town up the coast - some few hours walk! Some people take cars into the National Park and there are some tracks that can be used. However beware if there has been rain and don't go onto loose sand or you may well get stuck . If you like the idea of exploring by car we suggest a 4x4. About 20 minutes walk along the beach you can head inland to see the flamingos. Alternatively just walk through the park either following the paths or cutting across country. If you are taking a dog this is excellent dog walking country. Our dog Meg (Chocolate Labrador) loved swimming then rolling in the sand - so we just put her under one of the showers on the beach or hosed her down on the terrace. Within the National Park there are no bars or cafes so you may need a picnic - otherwise turn right and head for the Marina and enjoy a drink or meal at one of the beach restaurants or those around the Marina or in the square. The beach then runs on eastward where you will find more water sports activity during the summer. Eating Out There are many different restaurants around the marina to suite all pallets and prices are reasonable - whatever you would pay in GBP in UK you will pay the same number of Euros. This is Spanish town so there is a lot of families eating out and some restaurants don't get started until 8pm. There are also some takeaways. Night Clubs are located on the eastern side of the town a walk of 20-30 minutes from the apartment Golf clubs abound in this area and day tickets are easily available; there are several around Almerimar itself.
